Anger is a feeling we get for all kind of reasons...
We can get it because our rights have been enfridged(sp) on
We can get it because someone doesn't agree with us
We can get it because someone is annoying you
We can get it because someone won't listen
We can get it because we do something stupid
We can get it because you don't understand something
There are hundreds upon thousands of ways you can get angry... but should we?
What is good anger and what is bad anger?
In the Bible is tells us to be slow to anger
Proverbs 14:29
Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding; a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.
James 1:19
[ Hearing and Doing the Word ] My dearly loved brothers, understand this: everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger
These are a couple verses where Christ talks about being slow to anger because of consquences
But then people go "well did not Jesus come into the temple and destroy many vendors' things? is that not anger?"
Matthew 21:11-13 (New International Version)
11The crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee."
Jesus at the Temple 12Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13"It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,'[a] but you are making it a 'den of robbers.'[b]"
Jesus had righteous anger... His anger was called for and it was for the betterment of men... most times we get angry its because something has happened to us... we need to get over this and make our anger righteous... anger because of what is happening in Darfur or what happened with Nazi Germany... what about the KKK? These are the type of things we need to be angry at... not little insignificant things that don't really change life...
I am very guilty of being angry... it's part of me... I realize that since i have Christ in me... I can not let that anger take control of me... I am going to try and not...
